Maslow's pyramid redefined

The "Cesidian pyramid" idea was an addition

made on 25 June 2022 to the article below.

Maslow's pyramid of human needs redefined


In a Facebook exchange of posts with a friend, I noticed that whether you import a product to your country, or you export it, the net environmental effect is always the same: unjustified environmental pollution, beside the excessive reliance on oil and oil byproducts.

 

Politonomies, which are not much more basic natural economies, and thus totally unrelated even to the Ancient Greek roots of the word 'economy', create these problems, so these are not really economic problems, but politonomic ones. However, the distortions created by politics are not just the ones fulfilling only politonomic needs, rather than the more basic and indispensable economic ones.

 

I can't say Abraham Harold Maslow was totally wrong about most human needs, but either psychologists, or sociologists, have not classified these needs properly, or scientifically.

 

And now because of the toxic influence of Big Pharma, the tables of primary, secondary, and tertiary needs you find on the internet include vaccines as a "secondary need"!

 

This is science? No, because it is clearly wilfully deceptive propaganda.

 

Moreover, health or wellness, and personal safety needs, are not "secondary needs"!

 

Any other idea is just pure nonsense. You don't buy a house, or pay a thousand dollars a month or more in rent, so a burglar can come in, and not just rob you, but also possibly kill you.

 

You also don't pay a mortgage, or good money in rent, for an unhealthy living environment. These are clearly primary needs.

 

When I noticed all of this, it smelled like pseudoscience to me, and now I'm calling it what it is since at least 15 November 2020, when I started redefining not so much Maslow's needs, but the hierarchy of the pyramid in the table below.

 

This is much better social science, and it is Cesidian social science:

 

Primary Needs

Basic physiological, security, health and safety needs. Requirements: air, water, food, sleep, clothing, shelter, economic security, health or wellness, and personal safety. Include primary education needs of children here, but think like a homeschooling parent.

Secondary Needs

Social and self-esteem needs. Requirements: giving and receiving affection, the need for validation from others, especially relatives, neighbours, friends and lovers. Include the secondary education needs of older children and junior adults here; the need for vocational, trade, or technical schools and training in many instances; and the associated services. Include the needs of harmonious families and clans here as well.

Tertiary Needs

Self-realisation and cognitive needs. Requirements: need for devotion, respect, honour, prestige; a sensation of being free, independent, competent, knowledgeable; the need for self-realisation or self-actualisation. Include higher education here, but only where genuinely needed for one's future career. To be perfectly honest, I never really needed my BS in Information Technology degree, but I can also say that at least half of what I know today, is what I discovered or developed. Put in a more simple way: every natural society needs and can benefit from a sage, especially if he or she is an empathetic leader.

 

I could also state, matter-of-factly, that you don't need the government as much as Marxists or Capitalists, both Aristotelian by their fundamental nature, would have you believe, so relationships with local governments are either factually non-existent, or should be classified as illegal/illegitimate interference in private, or genuine local community affairs (where these exist, but not usually in the cities or the immediately surrounding suburbs), or they are quaternary relationships at best, relationships you either don't have, or that you have with (non-essential) entities, once or twice a year at best.

 

A relationship to your military drill sergeant should also be classified as tertiary at best, not a "secondary" relationship. This is more pseudoscience! Your drill sergeant is not your cousin, childhood sweetheart, best friend, uncle, mentor or teacher in the relationship pyramid. He or she is, at best, in a tertiary relationship towards you (if really caring or concerned) as a work partner, a spouse sometimes — sometimes spouses function as drill sergeants in a civilian setting, and not necessarily in a toxic or demeaning way, because relationships should also help us grow and evolve —, or academic fellow. To be perfectly frank, with the military drill sergeant kind of relationship, since you can usually be replaced by someone else (translation: you are not essential in the relationship!), and without any significant effect, this relationship is probably also a quaternary relationship in most cases.

 

Too much psychology and sociology taught in colleges and universities today is simply bullshit, and the only reason this kind of pseudoscience exists is to destroy natural societies or koinonies (κοινωνίες) — singular: koinonia (κοινωνία) , in order to replace these needed elements with organised religious, legalistic, or political fictions (what the Bible calls "Babylon"), which often serve few or no genuine human needs.

 

There is still too much Aristotelian pseudoscience around, and despite the Copernican or Scientific revolution. People need to understand that Aristotle got more than just his physics or biology wrong.

 

The end-result of all of this is a world dominated by zoa politika (ζῷα πολιτικά), or political animals, as Aristotle accurately described them, because political animals, who today have become Aristotelian extremophiles, should be dismissed from proper, or natural human societies.

 

Think about this more deeply.

 

If Aristotelian extremophiles would not be considered matriculated students, or faculty, or administrators on a college campus under the best circumstances; and could be considered disruptive entities to the mission or business of education in that educational society legally under the worst; they are clearly not essential — ie, primary, secondary, or tertiary — to other kinds of natural societies either!

 

How is a drill sergeant, who can be easily replaced, and who can easily and arbitrarily replace you, "secondary" to you in any way, especially in a natural society, or in a society where everybody is important and valuable to the community?

 

Do social scientists understand that thugs, mafiosi, or oligarchs, whether they wear a three-piece suit, or not, are not needed, or essential elements in natural societies, and may actually be illegal, as they are often disruptive, or contrary even to the mission of educational societies?
